Importing a OBJ and using its UVs?

[Heiner]

Hi there,

Since it is now possible to import OBJs i am wondering, if it is possible, to

use its UVs (if there are some of course). If yes, how do i acess them.

 

Besides, i am wondering, if the OBJ importer which is implemented in AM now,

is the one by Arthur Walasek?

 

Best regards,

What would yo do with these UVs?

 

You mean a UV map?

[Heiner]

Hi there,

yes, its the UVmap i am talking about.

If it had a bitmap texture when it was imported I presume that will show up in your Images folder.

[Heiner]

You are right,

my fault.

When you import and have the bitmap as Material, then the existing UV Layout comes as a stamp.

Very nice!

Thanks

Regarding the importer, I think it originates from Arthur but Steffen has also done some upgrading on it, i believe.

Are you familiar with Right Clicking on the Decal and editing in the UV Editor?

There are some new capabilities in v17 that let you separate the UV patches*, rearrange, rotate, scale etc.

 

 

*This doesn't effect the real patches of the model... just their representative UVs in the UV Editor.

 

Whoops. My response wasn't concerning OBJs.

Please disregard.
